Using Hermanus as a base

On our Hermanus Wine Walk you may prefer to enjoy the option of hiking the vineyards and olive groves of the Hemel & Aarde Valley during the day, and also enjoying the night life. Hermanus has many open-air restaurants and coffee shops  with the possibility of seeing our annual visitors the Southern Right Whale. We can arrange accommodation in one of the many hotels or B and B’s.

Hermanus also has an abundance of other marine life to enjoy, Brydes, Minkie and Humpback  Whales, Bottelnose and common Dolphins, pods of over 500 have been seen feeding from the Cliff Path. Another option to consider is the many exciting cycling routes the area has to offer in the Hemel & Aarde Valley, we have a very well equipped cycle shop where one is able to hire a mountain bike and equipment required to suit your needs.
